DO YOU NEED A LAWYER AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT?
Do you need to get a lawyer after a car accident? Yes, if you were injured. Here are three reasons you should get a lawyer if you were injured in a car accident:
1. The insurance issues are complicated. You may have heard that Minnesota is a “No-Fault” state. This means that your insurance pays your initial medical bills after a car accident regardless of fault. However, it does not mean it doesn’t matter who was at fault in the accident. The other diver’s insurance will still have to pay something if they were at fault. But if they don’t have insurance or not enough insurance, then your insurance will pay even more. There can be four or more different insurance policies that have to pay something after a car accident. A lawyer will determine which insurance company is responsible to pay what.
2. Medical bills and lost income are hard to calculate. In most serious car accident cases, at least two auto insurance policies will have to pay for medical bills and lost wages. These are hard things to track. Hospital medical bills are very difficult to understand. Likewise, dealing with documentation of your lost wages can also be complicated. An experienced lawyer will do this for you.
3. Getting full compensation takes knowledge and experience. The insurance company is responsible to pay medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. An experienced car accident lawyer will be able to present the whole picture of what you are entitled to and make sure you get it.
